Adventure:
The Sea Hunters, Part 2
Session 1:
The party uses the
Orb of Luthien in the rivers or canals heading toward the mountains.
They soon arrive at the closest port on a navigable river to the place
in the mountains where they think they can find the Oracle.
Session 2:
After flying to the
Secret Path to find the Oracle of Calafractus, the party had several
varying messages form the oracle telling them to seek the temple at
the end of the road beneath the Mountains that starts near the
Monastery of the Blue Thistle.
Covering the distance quickly by flying, the party reached an ancient
structure housing the Monastery and made contact with the Prime Monk.
Though Sven fought valiantly in a Monk’s Challenge, he was defeated.
Session
3:
After saying their
goodbyes to the monks and others at the monastery the party made its
way up the rift valley, flying to avoid the hill giants below. After
being separated from the party for some hours, the Druid rejoined them
at the huge cave entrance and the party entered the cave.
Some distance in, the party heard approaching
flying-insect-creature-mounted Duergar and caused them to crash. They
then killed them.
Session
4:
After killing the
duergar and while examining their loot, the party hid to avoid an army
of hundreds of goblin workers heading out to the surface-world at
night. They then stayed in a rope-trick and identified the items.
Hours later, the goblin army (with a few hill giants) returned the way
they came, bearing harvested trees and other plants, game animals and
anything else they found during their foray.
The party continued down the road beneath the mountains until they
found a large side-passage leading to a massive cavern illuminated by
dozens of huge bonfires. Hundreds (thousands?) of goblins worked
like industrious ants while a few hill giants helped or watched.
The party set a trap for the goblin worker-army when they next went to
the surface. Many goblins and several hill giants were killed in the
ensuing chaotic fight, ending with only the whimpers of wounded
goblins and the roar of the bonfires to be heard.
Session
5:
The party assumed a
more stealthy mode of travel, and traversed the rest of the Underpass
with little incident.
After thousands of miles, the party arrived at the end, where a dark,
dirty lake separated it from stone walls with doors.
After escaping the clutches of a large, amorphous creature in the
lake, the party encountered a few dozen cowed human and dwarf
captives, and in another room, a group of technicians performing tests
on humanoids and humanoid tissue samples. Nearby were cages holding
dead and dying subjects.
